Rapid Fire Marketing's Cheryl Shuman Appears with CANNAcig Featured on CBS TV National News Story

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Rapid Fire Marketing (Pink Sheets: RFMK) a developer, producer and distributor of vapor inhalers is proud to announce that Celebrity Spokesperson Cheryl Shuman will be featured on CBS television news set to air on September 26, 2012. The segment currently entitled "Pot Moms: Women Who Prefer Cannabis Over Alcohol" shot by KCBS-TV news will air in Los Angeles on the 11 p.m. newscast and syndicated nationally throughout all of the CBS network stations and affiliates.

Cheryl Shuman will be featured with two young activists who are also mothers introducing the CANNAcig Vapor Inhaler by RFMK as a much healthier way to consume cannabis rather than smoking. "Mainstream America needs to understand that there are millions of women across the country that prefer to consume cannabis instead of alcohol or tobacco. By going behind the scenes of real life women who regularly use marijuana, it removes the stigma. Media needs to show more positive role models as a modern cannabis consumer versus the typical negative stereotype."

Seventeen states across the country currently provide legal medical marijuana. While still illegal on a federal level, Colorado, Oregon and Washington could become the first to legalize marijuana for recreational use this fall.

In all three states asking voters to decide whether residents can smoke pot, the proponents promise big rewards, though estimates of tax revenue vary widely:

— Colorado's campaign touts money for school construction. Ads promote the measure with the tag line, "Strict Regulation. Fund Education." State analysts project somewhere between $5 million and $22 million a year. An economist whose study was funded by a pro-pot group projects a $60 million boost by 2017.

— Washington's campaign promises to devote more than half of marijuana taxes to substance-abuse prevention, research, education and health care. Washington state analysts have produced the most generous estimate of how much tax revenue legal pot could produce, at nearly $2 billion over five years.

— Oregon's measure, known as the Cannabis Tax Act, would devote 90 percent of recreational marijuana profits to the state's general fund. Oregon's fiscal analysts haven't even guessed at the total revenue, citing the many uncertainties inherent in a new marijuana market. They have projected prison savings between $1.4 million and $2.4 million a year if marijuana use was legal without a doctor's recommendation.

Shuman, a respected business woman and activist states:

Marijuana is objectively less harmful than alcohol.

The consequences of a marijuana offense are too severe.

Law enforcement resources would be better spent on more serious crimes.

"We all know there's a market for marijuana, but right now the profits are all going to drug cartels or underground," said Cheryl Shuman.
